Kevmo: "***Oh, it is so wonderful to see you accepting this part of the scriptures as historical.
Because it is yet another piece of historical evidence that Jesus DID claim to be God.
His hearers said that directly, and notably, Jesus (as a 1st century monotheistic jew) didn’t retract in Horror and say “Oh NO! You heard wrong!” "

Few of these specific details qualify as "history", they are all religious beliefs.
As such they are subject to differing interpretations.

Orthodox interpretations are certainly held by the vast majority of Christians today, but minority opinions have been kept by significant numbers throughout history, including our own Founding Fathers.

That's why I defend them today.

***There it is again, for all to see. When the gospels record a piece of history, in this case an exchange between Jesus and a crowd, there’s nothing to disqualify it as historical when it’s just describing mundane facts and no miracles. But you, for the 2nd time in this thread, have labelled historical observations contained in the gospels as a religious belief.

You are a joke, a brojoke as a historian. No wonder why you drifted into heresy.
